My sister-in-law, who’s an otherwise lovely, smart, compassionate person, is a hardcore Trumper. I can’t even pretend it hasn’t repelled me for good. It’s a personality defect.

I’m convinced the presidency is the only thing protecting Trump from all the dark money goons he owes around the globe, who will no doubt come to collect as soon as his ass is out of the White House. Hell, maybe losing a second term is the actual death knell for him. And I think he knows it. In fact, I think he’s more…

Yeah, but then Jezebel wouldn’t get their call-out headline.

THANK YOU. I’ve grappled with depression and anxiety all my life and was belatedly diagnosed with ADHD and guess what? I still show up on time. I give myself all the hours to get ready, even if it means “getting ready” way before I even need to head out the door. It’s preparing for transportation delays. It’s…

Whatever. I’m still holding out for Gwen’s Notebook-esque romantic reconciliation with Tony Kanal.

While I believe you penned this as a sincere question (?) the snark is absolute perfection. Brava.

Ok so NOW can we finally eat the rich? 

Sorry, that’s the sound of me loudly applauding Jennifer Aniston for finally showing some semblance of a personality after 50 years.

Are men more likely to keep trying long after it is clear that woman isn’t interested? Sure. But why is that?

Agree, but that’s you and me. And the above is my guess as to why there are “shy Trump voters.” 

My guess? Have you ever dated or slept with someone you’d never in a million years admit to your friends because you know and they sure as hell know that that person has no business in your bed (and in this case ballot) but you’re just not up to getting shit for it?

We liberals went HARD on Trump supporters, and while…

Because presumably JaneEyre27 is human and still retains some of the gender norms they were raised with and thus internalized, which may or may not be unconsciously voiced when discussing the very common narrative of straight guys refusing to acknowledge and accept when women aren’t into them?

Call it an educated…

Not to be glib, but I feel like the pandemic has sort of laid bare how a lot of people function in their day-to-day lives, what they expect (or demand) from their relationships and just how much distraction they require in order not to deal with themselves.

Mentally, the people who seem to be doing the worst in…

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that men are way worse about reading and acknowledging signs of disinterest than women, which is why I and probably a lot of others are assuming Left on Read is a guy.

I literally had an ex who used my smiley face emoji response to a random message as a “sign” that I wanted to get back together and was open to receiving nonstop sexually flirtatious messages. You can’t imagine his shock when I had to tell him to stop, that I was responding as a friend and that he was making me…

Totally. That role was pretty much tailored for her, but after that—-? She’s an ok actress but that’s just it, everything about her is just...ok.

What’s so striking is that Beanie Feldstein would have been considered the ideal woman for centuries, including CleoP’s era—pretty much up until the 20th. Excess flesh meant you had money, all the good eats, and could lay around all day dismissing doofy suitors while your cleavage poured over your corset. Add the…

Of course she was petite by today’s standards, she lived over 2,000 years ago and came from a long line of inbreeding. Her first husband was her brother. Inbreeding is inbreeding, regardless of ethnicity, so we probably shouldn’t get too fixated on physical features or else Steve Buscemi would probably be the better…

That’s one I haven’t heard but it actually makes a lot of sense. And I hate that after considering it I nod, shrug, and go about my day because no atrocity surprises me anymore. 

I was wondering that too. And if that’s the case, seats indeed need to be taken. Like, hell yeah I acknowledge and own the fact that white women are by no means innocent bystanders in prolonged systemic racism; the blood is on our hands as well. But it’s a loooooong-ass jump to compare their actions to those of white…
